Let us say I want to show that the a new First Year Seminar (FYS) course makes a difference in how well prepared students feel for college. The data below is collected for 10 students, asking them how prepared they feel for college (on a scale of 1-10) BEFORE the FYS class and then again at the end of the semester.

student	Preparedness before FYS	Preparedness at end of FYS
1	8.06	10
2	7.9	9.7
4	7.08	8.99
5	5.9	7.54
6	5.2	7.4
7	5.1	5.5
8	3.24	4.78
9	2.02	4.89
10	5	5
3	0	0.09

1. What type if statistical test should we use to test the research hypothesis?

2. Should we use a one-tailed or two-tailed test?

3. Using the data above and Excel, run through all the steps of hypothesis testing, to determine if the research question is correct. Does the FYS class relate to student preparedness for college?

4. What if instead of testing the effects of our class, we wanted to compare how prepared our students feel for college against how the population of US College students feels. Then what kind of test would we use?
